According to the Ministry of Education and Training, in 2025, the total number of candidates registering for the exam will reach 852,000 with 7.6 million applications for more than 4,000 majors and training programs of more than 400 universities and colleges nationwide.

The admission regulations allow candidates to register for multiple wishes without having to choose a method or combination of admissions; the admission software system will automatically select the method or combination of admissions that is most beneficial for the candidate.

Therefore, the total number of actual admission wishes that must be considered on the system is up to over 50 million (each industry wish considered according to each method and admission combination is considered as one wish on the system), an increase of about 2 times compared to 2024.

Meanwhile, the entire process of registration, fee payment, and admission confirmation is done entirely online. The Ministry of Education and Training has upgraded the general enrollment support software system (including the virtual selection and filtering system).

Although there was an initial overload, it was promptly resolved and the processing and data provision to schools was completed and published on time on August 22.

All successful candidates will be notified promptly.

During the period from August 22 to 24, candidates who have been admitted to a school will be notified by that school and can be looked up on the information portal provided by the school. For the group of schools in the North that conduct the general admission exam, the announcement of the list of successful candidates will be undertaken by Hanoi University of Science and Technology as the host unit under the authorization of the schools in the group.

Candidates who do not receive notification of admission or because the school has not completed updating data, has not announced the list of admitted candidates or there are errors.

From 8:00 a.m. on August 25, after most schools had uploaded their admission list data, the Ministry of Education and Training reopened the general admission support system for candidates to confirm their enrollment. The system operated completely stably, and by 12:00 p.m. on August 26, more than 560,000 candidates had successfully confirmed their enrollment (exceeding the total number of candidates admitted in the first round of 2024).

According to the Ministry of Education and Training, with such a large amount of data, along with diverse admission methods and conditions of universities and colleges, errors are inevitable, even at a very small rate.

As in previous years, these errors were mainly due to errors in admission input data (admission methods, conditions, admission criteria, evidence of candidates' priorities, foreign language certificates, etc.), and some errors were due to manual operations by some schools during the admission process.

According to the admission regulations, the resolution of errors is the responsibility of the schools. If necessary, the Ministry of Education and Training will support, guide and direct other universities to coordinate the handling.

The Ministry of Education and Training affirmed: "University and college admissions in 2025 up to now have been on schedule, as required, ensuring the rights of candidates; the general admission system for the year is operating stably. Cases where information has not been accessed in the past few days are due to schools not having completed reviewing and completing data.

Any errors will be resolved promptly and in accordance with regulations. All qualified candidates will definitely be notified of their admission in time to enroll on time."
